I know that I don't post here often, but every once in a while I just need to whine.

So, my husband is in the hospital because of congestive heart failure and a triple bypass. He came home for a day and went back in after suffering a mild stroke. I have no contact with my brothers and sisters (4 brothers, 2 sisters) My sister, a nurse, writes me asking what's wrong with my husband and I write back telling her hoping she might offer some advice or offer to help decipher doctor talk. Nope. She says "well, I hope he continues to improve"

I feel like I got myself caught in the old passive/aggressive family trap. It's like throw a line with bait attached, I nibble at it and she yanks the hook out of the water and walks away. And I walk away feeling like an idiot for nibbling at the bait.

I swear, I will not walk into that again
